Staff Reporter
KAKINADA: District Collector M. Ravi Chandra on Monday said that the special officers of the municipalities and municipal corporations would focus on civic problems like supply of drinking water and maintaining sanitation in urban areas. Besides taking care of the day-to-day works, the officers would focus on completing the long-pending projects in the areas concerned.
Referring to the Building Penalization Scheme, he said that though the last date for payment of penalty was mentioned as November 14 in the notification, the public was advised to pay it by the month-end as the remaining time would be needed to complete the document work.
He said that the drinking water supply scheme at Samalkot and Peddapuram would be completed by March next and at Pithapuram by December, 2011. The proposed Rs. 120 crore project of supply of drinking water to Kakinada from Rajahmundry would be re-designed. Mr. Ravi Chandra advised officials of civic bodies to take steps to pay dues to departments like ITDA at the earliest.
